PRECAUTION (BRAKES)A6E691001020201Wheels and Tires Removal/Installation
1. The removal and installation procedures for the wheels and tires are not mentioned in this section. When a
wheel is removed, tighten it to 88—118 N·m {9.0—12.0 kgf·m, 65.0—87.0 ft·lbf}.
Brake Lines Disconnection/Connection
Caution
•Brake fluid will damage painted surfaces. If brake fluid does get on a painted surface, wipe it off
immediately.
1. Tighten the brake pipe flare nut using the SST (49 0259 770B). Be sure to modify the brake pipe flare nut
tightening torque to allow for use of a torque wrench-SST combination.
•If any brake line has been disconnected anytime during the procedure, add brake fluid, bleed the brakes,
and inspect for leakage after the procedure has been completed.
Connectors Disconnection
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable before doing any work that requires handling of connectors. Reconnect
the negative battery cable only after the work is completed.
ABS, ABS/TCS, or DSC Components Operations
1. Make sure that there are no DTCs in the ABS, ABS/TCS, or DSC memory after working on ABS, ABS/TCS or
DSC components.
•If there are any DTCs in the memory, clear them.

Total Toe-in Adjustment
1. Center the steering wheel and confirm that the vehicle wheels/tires are pointing straight.
2. Loosen the left and right tie-rod end locknuts and turn the tie-rods equally. Both tie rods are right threaded, so
turning the right tie-rod toward the front of the vehicle and the left toward the rear increases toe-in.
Note
•Turning both tie-rods one complete turn changes toe-in by about 6 mm {0.24 in} (0°36').
3. Tighten the tie-rod end locknuts to the specified torque.
Tightening torque
68.6—98.0 N·m {7.00—9.99 kgf·m, 50.6—72.2 ft·lbf}
4. Verify that the boot is not twisted, and install the boot clamp.

Curtain air bag module (WGN)
1. Remove the curtain air bag module. (See T–35 CURTAIN AIR BAG MODULE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
2. Secure the curtain air bag module in a vise, and
cut off the deployment section, as shown in the
figure.
Warning
•Be sure not to collapse the pipe on the
side where it is cut. If it is collapsed, the
interior pressure of the pipe will build up
and can cause it to explode during air
bag module deployment.
3. Connect the SST (Adapter harness) to the curtain
air bag module as shown in the figure.
4. Tie the side air bag module to the tire with the
module facing the center of the tire. Wrap the wire
harness through the tire and around the bracket
at least four times.
Warning
•If the air bag module is not properly
installed to the tire, serious injury may
occur when the module is deployed.
When installing the air bag module to the
tire, make sure the module is facing the
downward.
5. Stack the tire with the curtain air bag module on
top of two tires. Stack a tire on top of three tires.
Stack another tire that has a wheel on top of the
four tires.

to the positive battery terminal and the black clip
to the negative battery terminal.
9. Verify that the red light on the SST (Deployment
tool) is illuminated.
10. Make sure all persons are standing at least 6 m
{20 ft} from the vehicle.
11. Press the activation switch on the SST
(Deployment tool) to deploy the curtain air bag
module.
